GitLab Todos

When you log into GitLab, you normally want to see where you should spend your
time and take some action, or what you need to keep an eye on. All without the
mess of a huge pile of e-mail notifications. GitLab is where you do your work,
so being able to get started quickly is very important.

Todos is a chronological list of to-dos that are waiting for your input, all
in a simple dashboard.

You can quickly access the Todos dashboard using the bell icon next to the
search bar in the upper right corner. The number in blue is the number of Todos
you still have open if the count is < 100, else it's 99+. The exact number
will still be shown in the body of the To do tab.

What triggers a Todo

A Todo appears in your Todos dashboard when:

an issue or merge request is assigned to you,

you are @mentioned in an issue or merge request, be it the description of
the issue/merge request or in a comment,

a job in the CI pipeline running for your merge request failed, but this
job is not allowed to fail.
